Baby Lion is doing it so well that they get to bookend the weekend! Protextor has decided to hit us with back to back episodes of Rappers Playing Games (RPG) within a week, and the latest episode features special guest MoneyNetwork and the Sega Genesis classic Aladdin. The pair play the surprisingly difficult game and talk about diversification of creative ventures, the information age, making blogs, objective knowledge and much more in one of the most interesting and vivid conversations to take place on the show to date. This series is catching steam, and with as many talented artists as there are in the Austin area (many of whom I can almost guarantee are gamers), I imagine we will have plenty of episodes to look forward to. Give this one a like, leave a comment, and share it around so others can do the same!

Rapper, entertainer, comedian and motorcycle enthusiast LucioPro recently stopped by Baby Lion‘s Rappers Playing Games (RPG), hosted by Protextor, to play some Ninja Gaiden II and speak on a random set of topics, including his interest. The pair blaze through the first few levels of the game, talk about the differences between rich time-off and poor time-off, speak on LucioPro‘s releases (NerdCore and otherwise), and genuinely share moments of inspiration. (RPG) is always a blast to watch, and LucioPro continues the lineage of interesting guests, so if you’re digging the series like I am, be sure to like, comment and share this video (and any other Baby Lion content you might like).

I recently stumbled across the music video for Reflect, the latest single by Tåsi, and was struck by the artistic quality of the images, and how perfectly they matched the well crafted song by Tåsi and his producer Malekhino. The entire affair has a cinematic quality to it, like a Bergman or Altman film with a camera that resembles a spirit moving. The feel matches what Tåsi speaks about in terms of introspection, taking personal inventory, and as the title states, reflection on your journey. Definitely a gem worth spreading around… and be sure to leave a like and a comment when you do share it.

I’ve always believed that a possible key to the continued success of Wild Child would be song placement in TV shows or films, and the release of Sinking Ship in music video form, for my money, has validated that feeling. Rather than focusing on members of the band, this video instead decides to lay out a visual narrative, with the song bolstering the emotional moments we are allowed to experience between the young couple the video focuses on. The acting is poignant, and without a word uttered, it is easy to feel what each character is going through, and this is largely due to the music Wild Child serving as the guide. Each new video they release confirms my fandom of the group further… definitely check this one out.

On December 29 of 2018, poolboi blu celebrated the release of ANTSY (his latest solo effort) with an album release party at Splash Coworking in San Marcos, Texas. The party featured DJ sets by poolboi blu and DJ Shak, a performance by poolboi blu, plus guest performances by Gost, Heartless the Monster, Meta and Splash Daddy. Michael Bailey-Lopez was on hand to document the affair, so check out his recap and leave it a like or comment, and definitely spread it around so people know about the get down!

Cory Kendrix is starting to build a reputation as a stylistic chameleon. He’s always been known for dropping bars, but recently, he made a shift into KNDRX mode, which allowed him to explore the more melodic realms of his sound. I initially thought that this was an overall style shift, but I’ve come to find out that that was just foolish of me to assume, as Cory Kendrix seems to be prepping us for the release of Ignorance 2 by dropping a certified banger in the form of OMG. The beat is fire, the bars and delivery are on point, and the overall vibe sticks in your head, so much so that you’ll probably find yourself humming the track well after you’re done listening. You know the drill, people… share it, support it, and keep checking back here for more and more of that good stuff.

My man SniperShot can always be counted on for positive vibes, enriching lyrics, dope video ideas, and doper execution. His latest magnum opus comes in the form of We Are One, an affirmation that, no matter what you’re going through or experiencing, you are not doing it alone in the greater scope of things. The idea is transmitted via a clever visual editing trick that works extremely well. Definitely check this one out, share it around, and like/comment it up!
